Overview

Mission

Independent library with special collection of books and periodicals

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided periodical services to public and academic communities. Approximately 16,000 additional articles indexed in the Alternative Press Index are accessible to hundreds of libraries with thousands of searches performed through EBSCO Academic Databases. Due to COVID-19 the library was not open to the public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
